I recently replaced the coil on my ST70 as I was getting no sparks. The replacement is a genuine Honda unit, which I have made sure of a good earth. I don't want to have to go through removing it again! All was well at first, getting plenty of sparks, fuel and she ran well. However, I'm back with what seems to be the same problem ie poor sparking. I have checked the generator by attaching a bulb to the output cable and it does light up as it should but by no means every kick. The timing, plug, points and condenser seem fine and I have not found any loose connections. I have noticed that leaving the bike at rest for say half an hour usually restores the spark, but after a few kicks they start to fade. I have run out of ideas so any help would be much appreciated.
